Where your word's become art, and your thought's become music

HIP HOP Now & Then

This is a tag team discussion. RULE: In the beginning of your TAG post, put the words NOW (meaning you are representing the hard hitters of today's Rap Playa's: 50, T.I., Kanye, Nellie, even Lil Jon) or put the word THEN (meaning you are representing the greats: Common, Roots, and even Master P or EPMD, your choice). Lets talk about the era and what it meant or means to you and how that artist's work affected you even where you are today. It's On!

Uhhh, this kind of hard because Jay is the best and hes from then and now. Cant front I use to bang that Camp lo to def! lol. But if you Pushing me into a corner, i'd have to say now. I like the evolution, even thought hip hop is in a Recession right now, it'll bounce back. And just for the record, Common, Camp Lo, and Snoop are still rapping ; ) TPE.ACE
